PSG boss comments on João Neves’ form: He’s just the same as ever | OneFootball

Luís Enrique chose not to give much importance to João Neves' performance in the national team. For the PSG coach, the current form of the former star from Benfica is consistent with what he has been showing since he signed with the Parisian club in the 2024/25 season.

Present at the press conference to preview the match against Le Havre, the Catalan coach was confronted about the performance of the Portuguese international, where he scored a hat-trick, but he replied that he didn't notice any difference: "I don't know, he's as he always is".

After his analysis, Luis Enrique recalled that he has no interest in individualizing the qualities of his players: "If I have to rate João Neves, if I do that, the next question will be where to rate Fabián Ruiz, where to place Warren [Zaire-Emery], where to place Senny Mayulu... And then the coach has problems".

"I am very happy to have this team, these players. They are special, they are different, they demonstrated that last year", added Luis Enrique, acknowledging that he has been working with a very talented squad.

"I don't know and I'm not interested in that kind of debate. As a coach, I seek to improve the team. Not just Fabián, Vitinha, and João [Neves]. There are many players who can perform well in that role", concluded Luis Enrique, in anticipation of the match against Le Havre.
